Ocean View (AL 483)

Ocean View (AL 483)

This corner apartment is located in Village Marina (15 minutes east of Faro) and facing the ocean, offering magnificent views of the Ria Formosa Nature Reserve with one of Portugal’s most unique collection of islands. This complex includes several apartment blocks with 4 floors. However, since the orientation is north-south, there are only four blocks where the end on the south side is located directly on the boulevard. The first two blocks are owned by the hotel Real Marina Hotel & Spa. Consequently, the number of privately owned apartments with ‘super’ view is very limited. Our apartment is one of them.
Our luxury apartment is located on the 3rd floor (2 elevators available) and has, from the living room and the L-shaped terrace of 28 m2, a beautiful view of the lagoon to the islands of Armona and Culatra, and the Salinas (salt pans) with flamingos. All rooms offer view of the marina. On the roof of the building a swimming pool with sun terrace, shower and toilet for the residents of the hall. Of course it is fully equipped. All rooms have air conditioning with remote control (also used for heating and dehumidifying) and electric black out roll shutters. In the kitchen: a refrigerator, freezer, microwave, oven, dishwasher, washer / dryer, a coffeemaker, toaster, steam iron, etc. There is a central vacuum system. Two bedrooms have a double bed (2m long), the third two single beds.
Dining set for 6, coffee corner for 2 and a lounger on the L shaped balcony.

Olhão, a lively fishing port, still retains its original character with a strong Moorish influence. It's the place to be for people who love the real Portugal, with its history and culture, beautiful islands and beaches, nature and interesting hinterland. The 1.3 km long boulevard in Olhão is one of the finest in the Algarve with green parks and playgrounds. Striking are the famous red market halls with daily (except Sunday) fresh fish, vegetables and fruits. On Saturday there is a local product / gypsy market. There are many excellent cafes / coffee shops, shops, bars and restaurants. The choice of restaurants is great, but the very fresh fish, clams, squid, crabs and shrimp are excellent.

Olhão itself does not have a beach as it is located on the Ria Formosa lagoon system. There are 2 public ferries for the islands Farol/Culatra and Armona at the eastern end of the market halls. There are regular services throughout the year, although fewer in the winter. Moreover, there is a private ferry in front of the next door hotel during the holiday season.

The islands with its beautiful beaches and the nature, combined with the marina and lively boulevard with an abundance of shops, cafés, bars, excellent restaurants and the local market halls, as well as the 5 star Real Marina Hotel & Spa next door make this a perfect holiday destination.

No car needed. Train, regional and local buss at walking distance.

Also supermarkets, restaurants and bars at walking distance.

Every day, except Sunday, in the morning fish and vegetable/market in the local market halls on the boulevard.
